Talk:Firefox/Projects/VideoDriverBlacklisting/DataDescription

Couple of thoughts on the spec:

• I would suggest using the same platform identifiers we use everywhere else, "WINNT", "Linux", "Darwin", etc... https://developer.mozilla.org/en/OS_TARGET. OS version would have to be separated then though.
• Are you ever likely to want to block multiple features for the same driver?
• Can you actually do version comparisons sanely? One issue we hit with plugin versioning is that there isn't a well defined way to compare them as different vendors use different versioning schemes.

• I'm not tied to any of the identifiers. Feel free to change any and everything; as long as it fulfills the requirements, I'm good with it.
• Yes, we could want to block multiple features per driver, but it's unlikely. In that case, we'd be fine with having multiple blacklist entries.
• Version comparisons aren't codified anywhere, but every graphics driver we've ever seen uses xxxx.yyyy.zzzz.wwww.
